Training and Fun

It was a wonderful day today and I took my office out to the barn and did all my telcos there. I was riding Missi and Sandor today. Missi is incredibly easy to ride. She simply wants to do it ALL RIGHT and really pleases her rider.


Meanwhile she gained condition and she flexes nicely on circles etc. She compensates some confirmation disadvantages she has for dressage with a lot of will power.

Sandor was .... slow :) It is nicely to observe, once he trots he trots, but to get him there .... but he feels good, very comfortable and soft.



I also did some walking with the young ones and did some ground training with them. Tornado has some tensions right now in her back, but after a treatment yesterday she was running much more free today.



















After all of this hard work, I had a surprise for the youngsters! A red ball with a tasty thing inside! You can really see that they are still young lol.

    Dear Jessica and Anniken,

    thank you! Missi is the very best out of CCC Warrior Perfect`n (Disposition) and Cotton Eyed Joe (Confirmation). I only can recommend foals out of that combination, they are all great :) I hope that Missi will have nice baby Curlies some day by herself :)
